b sanctuary sanctum contd

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] Sanctuary—a word that conjures visions of peace, protection, and unyielding safety. But what truly defines a place as a sanctuary? Can any refuge withstand the relentless forces of destruction, or does it take something more—a spirit of defiance and hope? For Ruseigner and Mae Yakane, renowned wildlife conservationists and environmentalists, the word became their life's mission. As the march of human progress devoured the natural world, the Yakanes spearheaded a monumental effort to carve out a haven for the threatened wildlife and ecosystems they cherished. With global support, they set out to create a sanctuary—a symbol of hope in a world teetering on the brink of environmental collapse. But fate is a cruel architect. Just as their dream took shape, tragedy struck. Ruseigner and Mae were lost, leaving their vision unfinished. Their son, Froja Yakane, inherited not just their legacy but the weight of their unfulfilled promise. At just 19, Froja’s life was stolen by an assassin’s hand. In his final breath, he vowed to seize any chance at redemption—to be stronger, bolder, and more relentless in pursuing his parents’ dream. And fate, for once, showed mercy. Reborn in a parallel world, Froja becomes Canna—a young man with a second chance to build the sanctuary his parents envisioned. But this world is far from welcoming. As Canna traverses lands filled with strange races and uncharted territories, he faces challenges that test his resolve and his belief in the very concept of sanctuary. Enemies, both seen and unseen, conspire to crush his efforts, but in the darkest of moments, Canna finds allies in the most unexpected places. Through trials of strength, cunning, and heart, Canna learns that a true sanctuary isn’t just a place—it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a defiance against the forces of chaos. Will Canna succeed in creating the sanctuary his parents dreamed of, or will he be consumed by the perils of this new world? In a tale of courage, transformation, and unwavering determination, Canna’s journey will reveal the true meaning of sanctuary—and the price one must pay to protect it.

( ON BREAK TILL FURTHER NOTICE ) “Protect, what needs to be protected. Help those you find worthy of help. Don’t let anger take over you, fight through sorrow, and rise a victor.

"A mirror?" she wondered, rubbing the smooth surface with her slender fingers. "What's so special about it? It looks so ordinary." "Just not a plain mirror," replied the grandfather. His gaze distant, his voice was hoarse as he explained. "It'll change your life to the deepest core. Here, since it is your sixteenth birthday, I'll pass it to you as a present." "How will it change anything?" she retorted, tapping the pristine yet dull surface. "You must be joking! Always prancing about how I need to be more vain, so mean!" "You will see in due time," was the reply. You will see in due time. Just how a single, useless mirror will change your life in many ways unexpected by anyone. Grandfather was indeed correct. An Fei could not help but admit it. The mirror had completely changed her life, just as he had said. Only, was she presented hell, or a new life? Because.... ---------------------------------------------- "My dear wife, I particularly enjoyed those soft cries and croons you prepared last night. Husband wants to eat meat again!" A handsome man dressed in black robes patted her on the back, softly whispering into her ear. That handsome appearance combined with his devilish allure, he would torment her night and day without pause, tethered by a tender string of sweetness. Definitely in hell. No doubt about it! - //Hello! This is another project of mine! This one will be incorporating themes of historical, transmigration, romance, and xianxia themes. Hope you enjoy!

Dante Russo is a lethal vigilante hiding behind a charming smile and a fake therapy arrangement. Adeline Fitz is the brilliant psychologist who unknowingly opens the door to his darkest desires. What starts as an assignment spirals into an obsession neither of them can control. She's the light in his chaos — and the only thing keeping his darkness from swallowing him whole. But when secrets start bleeding into passion, one thing becomes clear: She was never just his therapist. She was always his weakness.

In the jagged, rain-lashed peaks of the Black Timber Range, Elara Solari is done running. A twenty-four-year-old sorceress of immense but physically draining power, she has claimed a decaying mountain manor as the foundation for an impossible dream: a kingdom where magic, fang, and claw can coexist in peace. But in a world governed by "Low Honor" and centuries of genocide, peace is the most dangerous ambition of all. ​ Her first ally is Vardos, a massive, battle-scarred werewolf who was left for dead by his own pack. Bound to Elara by a life-debt after she nearly kills herself to heal his mangled body, Vardos is the ultimate cynic. He doesn't believe in her "sanctuary"—he only believes in the weight of his fist and the sharpness of his teeth. ​ As the manor transforms from a ruin into a fortress, it begins to draw the misfits and runaways of a broken world. But building a throne requires more than compassion; it requires the grit to do the "dirty work" the history books leave out. While Elara fights to keep her vision alive, Vardos must act as her High Executioner, standing between his new Queen and the relentless tides of vampires, werewolf legions and other enemies coming to burn The Lost Sanctuary to the ground.

Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new! ​ I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

She is the Desert Wren, a rebel bent on providing safe passage to illegal refugees entering into her Sanctuary city. If she’s caught she’ll be executed, but the price is worth the privilege of doing what she knows is right. Except when she’s finally caught, the sentence isn’t death, it’s her freedom. It’s the Warlord’s job to weed out the weak and sacrifice them for the good of the Sanctuary. Brutal and autocratic, he is the highest authority. The only threat to his dictatorship is a rebel faction rising up from the slums of his city. When he arrests a rebel leader, the Desert Wren, he sees his redemption. She will help him guide Sanctuary into the future. He just needs to convince his little captive that she’s better off with him than flying free. What is the price of Sanctuary in a dying world and is it worth the sacrifice?
